Ohio State Football Pays Forward at Manna Café

The philosophy of paying it forward is recognized around the world, but in Ohio, it may as well be the state motto.

Wednesday night, about 25 football players were on hand at the Manna Cafe to dish out food, talk football and bring a few smiles to faces that could use them. Every Wednesday, the cafe, located inside the Broad Street Methodist Church, welcomes 150-200 off the street for a respite and a delicious meal.

Love seeing this. Especially seeing little Nick involved too. Good stuff. How cool would that be for a freshman in HS to hang out with the players doing something like that. Good Pay it Forward stuff.

"I want a hungry team. I want a team that can't wait to get out there. I want an angry team! You're the Ohio State Buckeyes. You're an angry football team. You're a hungry football team and I'm proud to be your coach." UFM

Wait, is that Blake Thomas next to Heuerman? Holy moly. Vannett, Heuerman and Thomas are big guys. OSU athletic site article mentioned everyone who was there. At first I was confused and thought that maybe he was Corey Linsley with a new look of long hair and a beard.
